West Ham have released left-back George McCartney after failing to make a big impact at the club.

McCartney was used at left-back fairly often this season but was average at best and West Ham have chosen not to renew his contract. The defender is 33 years old and that could have played a big role in the Hammers' decision to cut ties with him. The obvious choices at left-back for West Ham will be Joey O'Brien. The club can also choose to keep Pablo Armero, who was over on loan from Napoli for the second part of last season. O'Brien could be a good fantasy option if he can stay healthy next season.

George McCartney has returned to West Ham's squad after missing a match through injury.

McCartney was on the bench while Pablo Armero started for the second consecutive time. We aren't sure if McCartney will regain his starting spot once healthy, but he is not worth owning at the moment. It's also worthy to note that Joey O'Brien is close to returning from injury as well and could be the chosen starter in favor of McCartney. Tue, Apr 15, 2014 03:10:00 PM

George McCartney has been ruled out for Sunday's match against Liverpool with a hamstring injury.

McCartney will miss the home match against Liverpool and will be a big blow to West Ham, who are already missing James Collins and Joey O'Brien. The good news for the Hammers is that Kevin Nolan has been deemed fit to return after leaving last weekend's match with a back injury. West Ham defenders are to avoided this week as Liverpool are almost impossible to keep out at the moment. Fri, Apr 4, 2014 01:43:00 PM
